The United States has created a social construct of what an individual must look like, act like, eat like... It perpetuates a harmful narrative that unless you fit this construct, you must change through diet and exercise. We do not allow for other forms of beauty to persevere and to become the new social norm when we only have a "one size fits all" attitude America has a national eating disorder when we tell people that x+y=healthy=beautiful....http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/does-america-have-national-eating-disorder-463335Wed, 4 Mar 2015 21:35:39 PSTIn literature, a persona can be one of two things: (1) a reflection of...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/discuss-how-michael-pollan-becomes-persona-473268
In literature, a persona can be one of two things: (1) a reflection of "one's inner self" in the text or (2) an exaggerated representation of one's self viewed externally (Dr. Wheeler, "Literary Terms and Definitions: P"). Another way to phrase it is that a persona is the narrator's voice within the work as a character that is distinct from the actual writer ("Persona Literary Term"). One example Dr. Wheeler gives us is the narrator in...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/discuss-how-michael-pollan-becomes-persona-473268Thu, 25 Dec 2014 07:42:16 PSTIn what ways does Michael Pollan become a persona in The Omnivore's...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/discuss-how-michael-pollan-becomes-persona-473268

One of the places that Pollan works to bring out the contrast between progressive or green-minded agriculture and traditional, industrial agriculture is in Chapter 8 where he describes Joel Salatin's farm. Here Salatin raises cows, hogs and chickens and focuses on the relationship between all of these animals and the grass that sustains them at a basic level. Though Salatin's farm is a particularly interesting case, Pollan highlights it in...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/does-omnivores-dilemma-discuss-relationship-472117Wed, 29 Oct 2014 21:44:34 PSTDoes The Omnivore's Dilemma discuss the relationship between resistance...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/does-omnivores-dilemma-discuss-relationship-472117

A thesis, whether it be in respect of an essay or a chapter of a book, always indicates the writer's intention and his main argument.

The omnivore's dilemma is choosing what to eat since an omnivore can eat anything. This dilemma involves knowing what is safe to eat and what is safe to think. Omnivores need a variety of nutrients from a variety of sources. Therefore, humans don't have an innate ability to determine what is safe to eat. For instance, a koala eats only eucalyptus leaves so it has no dilemma; no doubt in what is safe to eat. Humans are born with tools, instead,...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/what-omnivores-dilemma-269147Sun, 25 May 2014 20:32:41 PSTDoes America have a national eating disorder?http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/does-america-have-national-eating-disorder-463335
